So they would vote for them.

Obamacare is more about free abortions and so called wellness visits because that buys more votes. There is a reason he came up with death panels for those who actually need medical care.

Wait, so conservative doctors are whining that government entitlement programs aren't redistributing my wealth to their pockets as much as they believe it should?


What next? Defense contractors complaining they aren't getting enough government contracts to stay in business?

Oh well.

With such cuts, practices accepting medicare would lose money on every patient. Further, many insurance contracts are pegged to percentages of medicare.

Gee.............. I wonder what will happen to medicare patient access over 2014? When looting $750 billion from medicare to fund Obamacare, did anyone really think that there would not be a decline in quality and access for medicare patients?
Thank Republicans. They literally insisted on this as part of the budget deal proving, yet again, that they can never be trusted no matter what they say about supporting medicare and social security. It's their first target for cuts every time.

The tea party is about to learn a very important lesson: Be careful for what you wish for!

How many people on Medicare are getting abortions?

Default Obamas to Moms: Please Nag to Help with ObamaCare

If it's such a great plan, then why are moms being implored to nag their adult children to sign up? And why is this encouraged at the Christmas dinner table, one of what may be only a few occasions each year when families gather? Nothing like a little political controversy with the turkey, right?

The bigger issue is that most moms want nothing to do with ObamaCare either!

Looks like they're running out of ideas. You can only put so much lipstick on that pig!

Obamas to moms: Please help with ObamaCare | TheHill

Quote:
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will look to enlist mothers in a push to encourage uninsured Americans to sign up for coverage under ObamaCare with an event Wednesday in the Oval Office.
Quote:
The event targeting mothers comes at a key time for family reunions, as adult children return home from college or working away from their hometowns for the holidays. It is not a move completely without precedent, however, as last month President Obama's team was widely panned for encouraging people to bring up Obamacare at their Thanksgiving tables, inviting political conflict with family during what for many is an annual reunion.
